Overview of ISDN Voice Interfaces
This chapter provides an overview of ISDN Basic Rate Interface (BRI) and Primary Rate Interface (PRI) for support of voice traffic. With those ports so configured, you can do the following:
• Bypass PSTN tariffed services such as trunking and administration.
• Connect your PBXs directly to a Cisco router and route PBX station calls automatically to the WAN.
• Configure a voice interface on a Cisco router to emulate either a terminal-equipment (TE) or network-termination (NT) interface. All types of PBXs can send calls through a router and deliver those calls across the customer network.
• Configure Layer 2 operation as point-to-point (static terminal endpoint identifier [TEI]) or point-to-multipoint (automatic TEI).

• Prerequisites for Configuring ISDN Voice Interfaces, page 3
• Restrictions for Configuring ISDN Voice Interfaces, page 4
• Information About ISDN Voice Interfaces, page 4
• Additional References, page 10
Prerequisites for Configuring ISDN Voice Interfaces
• Obtain PRI or BRI service and T1 or E1 service from your service provider, as required. Ensure that the BRI lines are provisioned at the switch to support voice calls.
• Establish a working IP, Frame Relay, or ATM network. Ensure that at least one network module or WAN interface card is installed in the router to provide connection to the LAN or WAN.
• Complete your company’s dial plan.
• Establish a working telephony network based on your company’s dial plan and configure the network for real-time voice traffic. This chapter describes only a portion of the process; for further information, see the chapter “Cisco Voice Telephony.”
• Cisco 2600 series and Cisco 3600 series routers—Install digital T1 or E1 packet-voice trunk network modules, BRI voice interface cards, and other voice interface cards as required on your network.
• Cisco 7200 series routers—Install a single-port 30-channel T1/E1 high-density voice port adapter.
• Cisco MC3810 multiservice concentrators—Install the required digital voice modules (DVMs), BRI voice module (BVM), and multiflex trunk modules.
• Configure, for all platforms (as required), the following:
– Voice card and controller settings – Serial and LAN interfaces – Voice ports
– Voice dial peers
Restrictions for Configuring ISDN Voice Interfaces
ISDN Voice Interface Limitations
• Basic-net3 and basic-qsig are the only ISDN switch types currently supported for an NT interface.
• When the ISDN BRI port on the router is configured as an NT port, you must use a “rolled” cable (one with the transmit and receive leads swapped) to connect to a TE interface.
• Layer 1 can be configured only as point-to-point (that is, with one TE connected to each NT).
Automatic TEI support issues only one TEI.
QSIG Support Limitations
• Cisco 2600 series routers do not support VoATM.
• The following restrictions apply to the Cisco MC3810 multiservice concentrator:
– QSIG data calls are not supported. All calls with bearer capability indicating a nonvoice type (such as for video telephony) are rejected.
– Cisco MC3810 supports only one T1/E1 interface with direct connectivity to a private integrated services network exchange (PINX).
– Cisco MC3810 supports a maximum of 24 B channels.
– When QSIG is configured, serial port 1 does not support speeds higher than 192 kbps. This restriction assumes that the MFT is installed in slot 3 on the Cisco MC3810. If the MFT is not installed, then serial port 1 does not operate.
• The following restrictions apply to Cisco 7200 series routers:
– VoATM is not supported.
– BRI is not supported.
Information About ISDN Voice Interfaces
To configure ISDN voice interfaces, you should understand the following concepts:
• ISDN Media Types, page 5
• Interface Cards and Network Modules, page 5
• Typical ISDN Application, page 6
• QSIG Protocol, page 6
• Traceability of Diverted Calls, page 10
Overview of ISDN Voice Interfaces
Information About ISDN Voice Interfaces
ISDN Media Types
Cisco routing devices support ISDN BRI and ISDN PRI. Both media types use bearer (B) channels and data (D) channels as follows:
• ISDN BRI (referred to as “2 B + D”) uses the following:
– Two 64-kbps B channels that carry voice or data for a maximum transmission speed of 128 kbps – One 16-kbps D channel that carries signaling traffic—that is, instructions about how to handle
each of the B channels.
• ISDN PRI (referred to as “23 B + D” or “30 B + D”) uses the following:
– 23 B channels (in North America and Japan) or 30 B channels (in the rest of the world) that carry voice or data
– One 64-kbps D channel that carries signaling traffic
The D channel, in its role as signal carrier for the B channels, directs the central-office switch to send incoming calls to particular timeslots on the Cisco access server or router. It also identifies the call as a circuit-switched digital call or an analog modem call. Circuit-switched digital calls are relayed directly to the ISDN processor in the router; analog modem calls are decoded and then sent to the onboard modems.
Interface Cards and Network Modules
The VIC-2BRI-NT/TE voice interface card for the Cisco 2600 series and Cisco 3600 series routers and the BVM4-NT/TE voice module for the Cisco MC3810 multiservice concentrator enable Cisco IOS software to replicate the PSTN interface to a PBX that is compatible with European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) NET3 and QSIG switch types.
Before these cards and modules became available, if your PBXs implemented only a BRI TE interface, you had to make substantial hardware and software changes on the PBX to provide an NT interface to the router. provide an NT interface to the router. VIC-2BRI-NT/NE and BVN4-NT/NE allow you to connect ISDN PBXs and key systems to a multiservice network with minimal configuration changes on the PBX.
Typical ISDN Application
A typical application (see Figure 1) allows an enterprise customer with a large installed base of legacy telephony equipment to bypass the PSTN.
Figure 1 Typical Application Using BRI-NT/TE Voice Interface Cards or BVM4-NT/TE Voice Modules
QSIG Protocol
This section contains the following information:
• QSIG Basics, page 6
• ISDN Switch Types for Use with QSIG, page 9
QSIG Basics
QSIG is a variant of ISDN Q.921 and Q.931 ISDN D-channel signaling, for use in private integrated-services network-exchange (PINX) devices such as PBXs or key systems. Using QSIG signaling, a router can route incoming voice calls from a PINX across a WAN to a peer router, which can then transport the signaling and voice packets to another PINX.
The QSIG protocol was originally specified by European Computer Manufacturers Association (ECMA), and then adopted by European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) and the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). It is becoming the standard for PBX interoperability in Europe and North America.

Overview of ISDN Voice Interfaces
Information About ISDN Voice Interfaces
Table 1 identifies the ECMA standards and the OSI layer of the QSIG protocol stack to which they relate.
QSIG enables Cisco networks to emulate the functionality of the PSTN. A Cisco device routes incoming voice calls from a PINX across a WAN to a peer device, which then transports the signaling and voice packets to a second PINX (see Figure 2).
Figure 2 QSIG Signaling
The Cisco voice-packet network appears to the QSIG PBXs as a distributed transit PBX that can establish calls to any PBX, non-QSIG PBX, or other telephony endpoint served by a Cisco gateway, including non-QSIG endpoints.
QSIG messages that originate and terminate on QSIG endpoints pass transparently across the network;
the PBXs process and provision any supplementary services. When endpoints are a mix of QSIG and non-QSIG, only basic calls that do not require supplementary services are supported.
QSIG signaling provides the following benefits:
• It provides efficient and cost-effective telephony services on permanent (virtual) circuits or leased lines.
• It allows enterprise networks that include PBX networks to replace leased voice lines with a Cisco WAN.
• It eliminates the need to route connections through multiple tandem PBX hops to reach the desired destination, thereby saving bandwidth, PBX hardware, and switching power.
• It improves voice quality through the single-hop routing provided by voice switching while allowing voice to be compressed more aggressively, resulting in additional bandwidth savings.
• It supports PBX feature transparency across a WAN, permitting PBX networks to provide advanced features such as calling name and number display, camp-on/callback, network call forwarding, centralized attendant, and centralized message waiting. Usually these capabilities are available on only a single site where users are connected to the same PBX.

vn2 French VN2 ISDN switches
vn3 French VN3 ISDN switches
Cisco platforms that support Q.931 offer both user-side and network-side switch types for ISDN call processing, providing the following benefits:
• User-side PRI enables the Cisco device to provide a standard ISDN PRI user-side interface to the PSTN.
• Network-side PRI enables the Cisco device to provide a standard ISDN PRI network-side interface via digital T1/E1 packet voice trunk network modules on Cisco 2600 series and Cisco 3600 series routers.
Traceability of Diverted Calls
European Telecommunication Standard ETSI 300 207-1 specifies that calls must be traceable if diverted.
This requires that a VoIP call, when diverted, must translate into divertingLegInformation2 instead of Redirection IE. Cisco’s ISDN implementation satisfies this requirement.

19. isdn point-to-point-setup 20. exit
21. clear interface bri
22. Repeat for other interfaces DETAILED STEPS
Command or Action Purpose
Step 1 enable
Example:
Router> enable
Enters privileged EXEC mode. Enter your password when prompted.
Step 2 configure terminal
Example:
Router# configure terminal
Enters configuration mode.
Step 3 isdn switch-type switch-type
Example:
Router(config)# isdn switch-type basic-qsig
Configures the telephone-company ISDN switch type. Table 3 on page 9 shows a list of switch types.
Note The only switch types currently supported for an NT interface are basic-net3 and basic-qsig.
Step 4 Cisco MC3810
interface bri number
Other Supported Routers
interface bri slot/port
Example:
Router(config)# interface bri 1/1
Enters interface configuration mode for the specified port, connector, or interface card number (location of voice module) or slot/port (location of voice network module and voice interface card).
Step 5 no ip address
Example:
Router(config-if)# no ip address
Specifies that there is no IP address for this interface.
Step 6 isdn overlap-receiving
Example:
Router(config-if)# isdn overlap-receiving
(Optional) Activates overlap signaling to send to the destination PBX. In this mode, the interface waits for possible additional call-control information.
Step 7 isdn twait-disable
Example:
Router(config-if)# isdn twait-disable
(Optional) Delays a national ISDN BRI switch for a random length of time before activating the Layer 2 interface at switch startup. Use this command when the ISDN switch type is basic-ni1. Twait time is enabled by default.
Step 8 isdn spid1 spid-number [ldn]
Example:
Router(config-if)# isdn spid1 40855501220101
(Optional; TE only) Service-profile identifier (SPID) and optional local directory number for the B1 channel. Currently, only DMS-100 and NI-1 switch types require SPIDs. Although some switch types might support a SPID, Cisco recommends that you set up ISDN service without SPIDs.
Step 9 isdn spid2 spid-number [ldn]
Example:
Router(config-if)# isdn spid2 40855501220102
(Optional; TE only) Specifies SPID and optional local directory number for the B2 channel.
Step 10 isdn incoming-voice {voice | modem}
Example:
Router(config-if)# isdn incoming-voice voice
Configures the port to treat incoming ISDN voice calls as voice calls that are handled by either a modem or a voice DSP, as directed by the call-switching module.
Step 11 shutdown
Example:
Router(config-if)# shutdown
Turns off the port (before setting port emulation).
Command or Action Purpose
Basic ISDN Voice-Interface Configuration
How to Configure an ISDN Voice Interface
Step 12 isdn layer1-emulate user
or
isdn layer1-emulate network
Example:
Router(config-if)# isdn layer1-emulate user
or
Example:
Router(config-if)# isdn layer1-emulate network
(User side only) Configures Layer 1 port mode emulation and clock status for the user—that is, the TE (clock slave).
or
(Network side only) Configures Layer 1 port mode emulation and clock status for the network—that is, the NT (clock master).
Step 13 no shutdown
Example:
Router(config-if)# no shutdown
Turns on the port.
Step 14 network-clock-priority {low | high}
Example:
Router(config-if)# network-clock-priority low
(Optional; TE only) Sets priority for recovering clock signal from the network NT device for this BRI voice port. Keywords are as follows:
• high—First priority (default for BRI voice interface cards)
• low—Low priority (default for BRI voice modules) Note Do not use this command if the port is configured as NT
in Step 12.
Step 15 Cisco MC3810 Only
line-power
Example:
Router(config-if)# line-power
Turns on the power supplied from an NT-configured port to a TE device.
Step 16 isdn protocol-emulate user
or
isdn protocol-emulate network
Example:
Router(config-if)# isdn protocol-emulate user
or
Example:
Router(config-if)# isdn protocol-emulate network
(User side only) Configures Layer 2 and Layer 3 port mode emulation and clock status for the user—that is, the TE (clock master).
or
(Network side only) Configures Layer 2 and Layer 3 port mode emulation and clock status for the network—that is, the NT (clock slave).
Command or Action Purpose
Note To complete voice configuration, set up your voice ports and dial peers.
Verify BRI Interfaces
To verify BRI interfaces, perform the following steps (listed alphabetically).
SUMMARY STEPS
1. show controllers bri 2. show interfaces bri
3. show isdn {active | history}
4. show isdn {memory | status | timers}
5. show isdn status Step 17 isdn sending-complete
Example:
Router(config-if)# isdn sending-complete
(Optional) Configures the voice port to include the “Sending Complete” information element in the outgoing call-setup message. This command is used in some geographic locations, such as Hong Kong and Taiwan, where the “Sending Complete”
information element is required in the outgoing call setup message.
Step 18 isdn static-tei tei-number
Example:
Router(config-if)# isdn static-tei 0
(Optional) Configures a static ISDN Layer 2 terminal endpoint identifier (TEI).
Step 19 isdn point-to-point-setup
Example:
Router(config-if)# isdn point-to-point-setup
(Optional) Configures the ISDN port to send SETUP messages on the static TEI (point-to-point link).
Note A static TEI must be configured in order for this command to be effective.
Step 20 exit
Example:
Router(config-if)# exit
Exits the current mode.
Step 21 Cisco MC3810
clear interface bri number
Other Supported Routers
clear interface bri slot/port
Example:
Router# clear interface bri 1/1
(Optional) Resets the specified port, connector, or interface card number (location of voice module) or slot/port (location of voice network module and voice interface card). The interface needs to be reset if the static TEI number was configured in Step 18.
Step 22 Repeat the appropriate steps for the other BRI NT/TE interfaces.

Field (in alpha order) Description
abort Illegal sequence of one bits on a serial interface. This usually indicates a clocking problem between the serial interface and the data link equipment.
BRI... is {up | down | administratively down}
Whether the interface hardware is currently active (whether line signal is present) and whether it has been taken down by an administrator.
broadcasts Total number of broadcast or multicast packets received by the interface.
BW Bandwidth of the interface in kbps.
bytes Total number of bytes, including data and media access control (MAC) encapsulation, in the error-free packets sent or received by the system.
carrier transitions Number of times that the carrier detect signal of a serial interface has changed state. Check for modem or line problems if the carrier detect line is changing state often.
collisions Number of collisions. These can occur when you have several devices connected on a multiport line.
CRC Cyclic redundancy checksum generated by the originating station or far-end device does not match the checksum calculated from the data received. On a serial link, CRCs usually indicate noise, gain hits, or other transmission problems on the data link.
DLY Delay of the interface in microseconds.
encapsulation Encapsulation method assigned to interface.
five-minute input/output rate Average number of bits and packets transmitted per second in the last 5 minutes.
frame Number of packets that are received incorrectly having a CRC error and a noninteger number of octets. On a serial line, this is usually the result of noise or other transmission problems.
